Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.


Thought: An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation. Solving this problem does not require use of the Pythagorean identity.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

HS
options: Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.

Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
- The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
- The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
- 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to have an opportunity to apply their place value understanding to estimate quantities of objects and accurately count familiar objects.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Bags
Collections of objects
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs a bag of a collection of small objects.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display for all to see approximately 15–25 beans or other small objects.
“How many objects do you think are in this pile?”
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
“How could we find out exactly?” (Count them.)
Activity
“How many objects are in 2 handfuls? Let's do an experiment.”
Give each group a bag of objects.
“Take turns and grab a handful. Estimate how many objects you both grabbed altogether. Then find out how many you have exactly.”
“You will do this experiment three times.”
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
count by ones
group the objects into groups of 10 and then count the tens and ones

Experiment 1: How many objects are in 2 handfuls?
Record an estimate that is:
|                    too low                     |                  about right                   |                    too high                    |

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share.
“Did your estimates get better with practice?”
“How did organizing your objects help you to count?”
“Imagine I have 72 objects. How many would you have if you have 10 fewer than I do? What if you had 10 more?”
“If you had 72 objects, how could they be arranged in piles of 10 and ones? Are there any other ways?" (7 tens and 2 ones, 6 tens and 12 ones)
